A team of researchers has reported the first laboratory synthesis and recovery of bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal form long predicted to be harder than the conventional gems used in cutting tools ...

Here is why gallium nitride (GaN) is the natural successor to silicon MOSFETs in the 100–650 V class of power devices.

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed-matter physics that were long considered separate. The electronic and ...

These findings resolve the long-standing controversy on the existence of hexagonal diamond,” researchers said.

The large language model automates literature search, synthesis, and structural analysis to speed up materials discovery and ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

In 1986, Kihachiro Aratake was diving off the coast of Yonaguni when he spotted a giant structure 25 meters below the surface ...

An international research team has produced a bulk, millimeter-scale hexagonal diamond in the laboratory, a crystal variant long theorized to rival or exceed the hardness of the cubic diamonds found ...

Chinese scientists create pure-phase hexagonal diamond, a rare carbon crystal that could rival traditional diamonds in strength.
